One-LinerAfter moving into a new home, a teenage girl discovers a cursed doll that puts the lives of her family in jeopardy.

SynopsisRecovering from the loss of her husband, Sarah moves her daughters Chrissy and Kilee to a new city where Sarah joins a new dental practice and Chrissy has been recruited to play on the local school’s lacrosse team.

Kilee hates the move, feeling that they’re running away from her dad’s memory. It only gets worse when she’s bullied at school by Tina and is endlessly fighting with her sister. It feels like the world is against her, until she discovers a doll, riddled with pins, hanging in her backyard shed. She soon comes to believe that the doll holds supernatural powers.

As a test, she wishes for her sister to get a pain in her leg. To her astonishment, it works. Soon, she’s using the doll for all types of wishes: revenge on the bully Tina, an attitude adjustment for Sarah’s manipulative co-worker Dr. Ryder, and love from her handsome English teacher, Mr. McCabe.

Suddenly, with this power at her disposal, the future doesn’t seem so bleak. Tina is put in her place, McCabe is crushing on her, and Dr. Ryder is no longer a threat to her mom.

All seems well…until Chrissy discovers the doll. Not liking that Kilee is messing around with the “occult”, Chrissy throws the doll away in their trash bins. However, the next morning, the doll is back in Kilee’s bed and Chrissy’s leg pain is acting up again, even though Kilee removed the wish days before. For the first time, Kilee becomes concerned about what she might have unleashed on the people in her life.

It only gets worse from there. McCabe begins obsessively stalking Kilee. Tina steals the doll and is viciously attacked. Dr. Ryder becomes overly paranoid and threatens Sarah’s life. With every passing hour, the doll’s powers and abilities grow and grow.

In an attempt to stop the doll from hurting anyone else, Kilee references a book on the occult and buries the doll deep in a forest. When that doesn’t work, she realizes that not only has her betrayal angered it, but has made it even more dangerous.

Now bent on vengeance, the doll traps Kilee, Chrissy, and Sarah in their new home for an epic battle for their lives.
